When Wan Sheng saw her come out, he asked in a hoarse voice, "How is she?"
"He's asleep." Xu Jiang saw that he looked exhausted and languid, so she advised him, "It's late, the wind and dew are hurting people. You should go back and get some rest."
Wan Sheng nodded, "I'll trouble you with her."
"There's no need for us to bother each other about her. She's my family, and even more so, yours and Zhenji's." Xu Jiang consoled him, "She'll let go of the past and see clearly what's most important to her now. Please trust her, and even more so, trust yourself and Zhenji."
"I hope so." Wan Sheng's tone was dejected, with a hint of self-abandonment in his expression.
Xu Jiang frowned. "Humans are not plants. Besides, Madam is such a loyal and righteous person. After spending more than twenty years together day and night, it's impossible for her to be indifferent to your efforts."
"She was just trying to repay a favor."
"Be it a favor or a love, you are already a family that cannot be separated from each other. Why bother to pursue it, and why bother to separate so clearly?"
Wan Sheng smiled bitterly, "Maybe I'm too greedy and selfish. I also want the same relationship between her and your father."
"But you are not him, and you don't have his temperament, so naturally you won't have the same feelings as him." Xu Jiang saw him swaying and wanted to help him, but saw that he stood firm again.
She sighed and continued, "You are not him, and you will not have the same ending as him."
"He's a man who would rather die than live in disgrace, so he keeps running into obstacles and ends up with himself bleeding. You have your merits, but without you, the lady wouldn't have been able to hold on for so many years, and wouldn't have been able to wait for me to meet her."
Xu Yuan is like a flying star in the long night, rare, fierce and dazzling, but very short-lived.
Wansheng is like a lamp, easily visible, warm and peaceful, and able to accompany people for a long time.
"You and my father are both indispensable people in her life."
"Yeah?"
Xu Jiang sighed slightly.
Wansheng is able to grow his business to such a large scale. He is not a fool. It’s just that his obsession is too deep and cannot be broken for the time being.
Xu Jiang knew that she was not the one who could truly persuade him, so she said to him, "If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself when she wakes up."
"Father." An anxious sound of footsteps echoed from the courtyard. It was Wan Qingmiao. He practically ran over to the two of them, panting and asking, "How's Mother?"
Xu Jiang replied, "He was awake for a while and talked to me for a while. He's asleep now. Don't worry."
"That's good." Wan Qingmiao wanted to go inside to check, but was afraid of disturbing his mother, so he said, "I'll come see her tomorrow when she wakes up."
"When she wakes up, I'll send someone to call you." Xu Jiang nodded, then glanced at Wan Sheng and said to Wan Qingmiao, "Master Wan has been guarding here for most of the night. You should also accompany him back to rest early to prevent him from getting hurt again."
Wan Qingmiao saw that his father looked unhappy, so he stepped forward to support him and said, "Father, go back."
With his son's support, Wan Sheng's tense body relaxed slightly, and he nodded tiredly, "Well, let's go."
Wan Qingmiao helped his father out of the courtyard. Two maids immediately brought lanterns to illuminate the area. After a few steps, he turned back and waved to Xu Jiang, "Sister, you should go and rest too."
"Okay." Xu Jiang also waved at him.
When Xu Jiang returned to the room, Liu Mei and the maid had already finished cleaning Xizhi.
She walked to the bed, looked at her sleeping mother, leaned over and touched her forehead, then covered her with a thin blanket.
The tears fell on the thin blanket and quickly disappeared.
Liu Mei felt a little distressed, and while supporting her, she asked, "Would you like to eat something? You haven't even had time for dinner yet."
Xu Jiang raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and choked out, "Eat."
Only when you are well fed will you have the energy to take care of your mother.
